Which of the Market Price Sites do people find the most reliable ?
I am currently writing a new spreadsheet.
I want to include automatic price download from a pricing site.
Eve-Metrics has a snapshot feature that allows all items to be downloaded in an easy to digest ( in ooCalc ) csv format.
My Eve-Metric import is allready up and running, but looking at the prices some of them seem bizarre ( badgers selling at an average of 300M ) etc.
This leaves me wondering about the reliablity of this site!
Is Eve-Central any better ?
I have no downloader for this yet as they dont provide the data in a very suitable format.
Importing XML into a ooCalc doc is a pain esp at 20 items limit per call.
Is the data returned by Eve-Central significantly better than Eve-Metrics and worth going the extra mile for ?

I prefer Eve-Central for the most accurate "up-to-date" pricing, but Eve-Metrics for their pretty graphs.

Eve-Metrics is definitely better. I use them to source this: http://eve-profits.com/list
The trick is this: Don't use the average. It averages orders without regard to their relative volume, so that 5000 item order at a sensible price is as strong a contributor as is the 1 item order at 800 millions. The mean field is a bit more sensible, as it takes the order size into account.
However, what you really want is the "simulated". It uses an algorithm that i gave them which basically simulates a market transaction of 5% of the market volume at the most advantageous prices possible and does so separately for buy and sell orders.
Basically: If you want the most realistic price use the "simulated" field.
Also, seriously, learn a proper programming language like Perl and use the JSON exports: http://eve-metrics.com/api/item.json?type_ids=25601®ion_ids=10000032

I do alot of trading and I'm using (http://www.eve-markets.net/index.php)but I'm sure if I like it. The buy and sell does not renew itself with fresh/new orders. Alot of the orders are fulfilled but don't expire for days/weeks.
Is there a similar eve-market but one that updates every 12hrs and I've been looking for a profit spread sheet that can do the calulations for loss and profit and such.
Thanx

Um, wow, what to say...
Perl was like communism or fascism, sure it was an interesting experiment, but it misses the whole point !

Most people have prejudices and ignorance. Most people however do not make an effort to display them as openly and proudly as you just did.

Afaik eve-metrics is more up-to-date, they decode the cache files to update their prices which means you don't need to export market logs but it gets automatically uploaded if you visit an item page.
Also if you're getting weird results, I'd suggest you use the median or lowest price, instead of whatever you're using now.

That made me :) too.
I may be completelly ignorant , but I was under the impresion that Perl was a "Programming Language" for unix admins who needed to do a little bit more than would be easy to implement in ash / bash.
Nothing wrong with that , but not an appropriate choice for macro code in a ooCalc spreadsheet.

If you are going to discuss stupidity of programming languages, you should really start from C.
Nothing is more stupid than a joke, which made a complete revolution.
